We missed one hell of a “Barn Find” auction

comments
Let’s make this long story short. Somewhere in England or United Kingdom or Great Britain, some land property sold for redevelopment. On this property were warehouses. Those warehouses are full of cars. Apparently the old property owner did not care for those cars enough to move them. Or perhaps he or she (let’s be honest,…

Sleeper alert: a Malibu with a grand heart
/

comments
Let’s start with a question – are the days of sleeper cars over now? Many of today’s basic cross-over-wanna-be-minivan things come with around 300-horsepower and very many of them are capable of killing the quarter miles in less than 15 seconds. Then there are the high-performance those not-so-basic cross-over-wanna-be-minivan things that would just spank proper sports…

It’s a glorious time in the automotive world. That’s a broad statement, but it applies heavily to imports that are finally legal to own and drive here in the USA. Now that so many are coming up on or passing the 25-year import law mark, we’re starting to see some truly amazing cars here on…

Do you need another t-shirt? No, of course not. But this one… you should buy it anyway. This is our latest Blipshift offering, and it features our LITTLE FRIEND. We went with a Tony Montero t-shirt, and it’s an homage to the cool stuff that CandyLab is making: https://www.candylabtoys.com/ You need to head to Blipshift to buy…

This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300TD just fetched big bucks on BAT

comments
The Mercedes-Benz 300TD is a perplexing machine. Occasionally, you can find one for just a few grand. My own, currently un-engined, example initially cost just $2,500. The OM167 engine it came with was strong but the transmission was dying. None of that mattered since both were getting pulled. Here’s another example of one of my…

This Mazda mighty mini is ready for the dirt

A small car is fun. A small car modified for rally use is wonderful. And I found one for sale. This 1992 Mazda MX-3 is living its best life, and now it can be your MX-3. The owner has modified it so they can run it in rally events. It looks well sorted. The Craigslist post…

This 1970 Chevy C10 went for bonkers dough at Barrett-Jackson
/
/
comments
This is a good looking 1970 Chevrolet C10 pickup truck. It’s had a ton of work done to it, and it appears to be quite well built. Under the hood, you’ll find a 6.2-liter V8 that cranks out 450 horsepower. A six-speed automatic bolts up to a 12-bolt rear end. And the chassis rides right…

Nissan Pathfinder in time for winter

comments
Before there was a Toyota Land Cruiser in my life, there were Pathfinders. I have an uncle who at one point had a garage made up of Nissan Pathfinders and a Saab 900 Turbo for his teenage daughter. Bring A Trailer brought me back to my youth of crawling in and out of those hard…

(Semi-)Fastback Friday: This 1973 Plymouth Duster is super clean
/
/
comments
On the Mopar scale, the six-cylinder Duster ranks somewhere closer to Dodge Neon than ’68 Charger. Sure, there are cool Dusters out there, but a bog-standard six-banger may be viewed with rose-colored glasses. It’s intriguing today, sure, but nothing about which you should get too excited. Still, there’s something about this Duster that has me interested.…

Forbidden Fruit, Found: 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ73

comments
A Series 70 Land Cruiser is a wonderful thing. We don’t get them though, which is sad. The 70 Series arrived in the mid 1980’s to replace the aging 40 Series trucks. Toyota wanted a version of its Land Cruiser to retain the tough, off-road capability of the versions that came before. Yes, the 60…
